Dems can't seem to grasp that REAL America doesn't buy their hateful hysteria!
Those poor Democrats. They just don't get it do they? They had their heart set on winning the Georgia House seat once held by Newt Gingrich in Tuesday's special election. They poured money into the race, massively outspending the Republican Karen Handel and most polls showed the Dem challenger Ossoff would win. Early vote totals gave Ossoff a 10,000 vote lead. But after weeks of Democrat anti-Trump hysterics and the shooting of Republican House Whip Steve Scalise the GOP base in Georgia's 6th Congressional District came out on election day to deliver another massive thumping loss to the Democrat fascist machine.
I doubt it was lost on many voters that the Democrat challenger Ossoff received more in campaign contributions from San Francisco than he did from the citizens of Georgia. Once again Democrats tried to force their radical left wing hysterics on REAL America and once again REAL America said NO!
The media was all ready to say that if Ossoff won it was a referendum on Trump. Last night in her VICTORY speech Karen Handel went along with that line. She thanked President Trump and the crowd went wild.
OK liberal media, HERE is your referendum on TRUMP:
A couple of takeaways from this and other recent special elections. First, the hysterics of the left are NOT values that mainstream REAL America relates to. As long as the Democrat Party and their candidates embrace the hysteric kook Trump haters they will lose elections for most of these middle of the road districts. Second, the Democrats large lead in early voting means the GOP still does not have the mechanics in place to match it. Third, and perhaps most important, while many of these special elections are closer than Republicans might usually expect in such districts, the Dems will not be able to massively fund every single tight race in the 2018 midterm election they way they have here. Still, Republicans cannot take anything for granted and the best thing they can do is to rally behind Trump, turn back the Democrat attack machine and pass the GOP/Trump agenda! Update: This headline in the NY Times says it all:
More for the photo album. Add these to the photos of Hillary supporters on election night last November. How long before these Ossoff losers blame Russia?
Left looking to provoke a reaction? Careful what you wish for! The lovers of peace and tolerance are at it again. In the wake of the attempted massacre of GOP Congressmen earlier this week a Democrat campaign strategist in New Jersey tweeted this:
We are in a war with selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people. Why is it a shock when things turn violent? #HuntRepublicanCongressmen
Afterwards, he refused to delete the tweet or apologize. Where are the calls for civility from the usual Democrat handwringers? Silent!
But with his #HuntRepublicanCongressmen hashtag, this monster who revels in gun violence while demanding gun control unmasks many Democrats as political terrorists. And it's especially troubling since the shooter in this weeks attempted massacre had an "assassination list" of GOP congressmen among his belongings.
Democrats Feeding Frenzy of Hate and Violence
Provoking a Reaction
Democrat's vile rhetoric not only stokes hate and violence among their base, but they seek to provoke a reaction from those on the right. Remember that Democrat strategists were being PAID to send people to Trump rallies and start fights so that the media would accuse Trump supporters of being violent.
Readers may recall when a Chicago "anti-violence activist" was among the provocateurs who invaded a Trump rally and started swinging wild punches after attempting to storm the podium and seize the microphone.
Turns out, Hillary, Obama and the Dems were PAYING people to organize this violence!
Now the sewers of the Democrat fascist machine are filled with people advocating and perpetrating acts of fascist violence. Sadly, they may provoke a reaction. When they do, count on the news media to blame it all on Trump. But the truth cannot be denied. DEMOCRATS LITERALLY HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!!
If she didn't have a seriously well thought out strategy why demand a vote?
I was shocked when I heard May was planning a general election. Why now? And I still don't have an answer. From British press reports (and this analysis is scathingly accurate) she decided over the course of a walking holiday and just sprung the news on everyone when she got back. More to it of course but what?
Then to come out with imagery of May as "stable and strong" as if she can do no wrong but then hide her from debates and from the sort of one on one retail politics that shows a confident candidate. This was followed by a rushed and poorly presented major change in benefits for the elderly (everyone in Britain is on some sort of benefits; should be a cautionary note for Americans) that had to be retracted after the uproar.
All this made May look weak and wobbly. Nothing like strong and stable.
Granted May is NO Margaret Thatcher. What fire there is in her is well concealed behind an almost droning monotone voice. There is little about her that is inspiring.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn, under attack from members of his own party for the past two years for being a boob (and even smacked a woman in hers) went on to promise younger voters free college tuition, no repayment of student loans and about everything else he could think of without ever being challenged on a complete inability to get any of his program enacted and paid for.
In the voting results Labour saw a huge surge of 9.5% in total vote. But even the Conservatives managed to score a 5.5% increase. All of this at the expense of the smaller parties. In the end Labour added 30 seats. The Conservatives lost 13 and would have lost more except for the implosion of the Scottish National Party which lost 21, many of which went to the Conservatives for the first time in a long time.
The result was a major reshuffling of the deck in which the two main parties are stronger and the minor parties all but irrelevant except as kingmakers in a coalition government. If in future this trend towards a more two party system continues it may be favorable for the Conservatives who hold an edge in total seats and votes cast.
As for now, PM May is in serious trouble from her own party. Reports suggest many Tory leaders want her out sooner rather than later. But that sets up another election to follow. Hopefully whoever takes over will be better prepared and not talk like a government wonk but a REAL leader. Bold themes are better than watered down socialist me too politics!
Of course not! But every Trump associate WILL be held to the absolute letter of the law!
We've long known that the deep state has a cozy relationship with leakers to damage Trump. And they're not all like that fool Reality Winner, the anti-white Trump hating Iran lover who got caught transmitting top secret NSA documents. Nope, there are bigger fish in this game to bring down Trump and few bigger than Comey.
But while the idiot Reality Winner will get locked up and the key thrown away, why not investigate Comey when he ADMITS to leaking highly sensitive information as he did in his testimony on Thursday?
Why is it that Comey refused to admit that Trump was not the target of any Russian investigation because it would be inappropriate to release that information but he felt it was appropriate to leak information he hoped would be damaging to Trump?
But of course the old DC swamp will just give a Comey a wink, wink and forget all about that at the same time they will parse every word ever spoken by Trump or his associates looking to prosecute them for the most minor of process crimes if nothing else.
Trump had better wise up. It's time to fight back with ALL the power of his grass roots supporters behind him BEFORE Dems succeed in charging him or associates for what amounts to jaywalking and hounding him from office! P.S. Meanwhile, CNN has issued a correctionof one aspect of it's news reporting attacking Trump for insisting Comey had cleared him repeatedly. Unfortunately, the correction will never run with the same breathless repetition as the original charge. Plus, so much other fake news remains unchallenged on CNN. But it's a start!
No Trump Russia Collusion. For those hoping Comey's testimony would confirm their wild and unfounded fantasy about a Trump Russia collusion they were once again disappointed. Even liberal Chris Matthews admits there's "no there there." Not that it will stop the rabid fantasists from repeating their unfounded charge. That's all they have!
If you KNOW who the terrorists are but you WON'T arrest them, or even follow them, what chance do you have to prevent future attacks?
Trump caught hell for saying this after the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan told everyone not to worry. This after three terror attacks in London in several months and the increasing frequency of attacks across the world.
Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!
THIS is the guy Trump is talking about. It's a short clip but it says so much about why the problem of terrorism persists and grows:
And don't forget that attackers in the latest London attack were known to Police and very open in their radicalism:
Mayor Khan has the same sense of urgency and understanding of the problem that is typical of the left in the United States. Stick your head in the sand and pretend it's not happening or blame on Trump!
Former FBI Director's written testimony has been released by the Senate Intelligence Committee. It is seven pages and you can read it here.
Comey confirms Trump's earlier statement that Trump was not the target of any counter-intelligence case regarding Russia.
COMEY: In that context, prior to the January 6 meeting, I discussed with the FBI’s leadership team whether I should be prepared to assure President-Elect Trump that we were not investigating him personally. That was true; we did not have an open counter-intelligence case on him. We agreed I should do so if circumstances warranted. During our one-on-one meeting at Trump Tower, based on PresidentElect Trump’s reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the
question, I offered that assurance.
In a private dinner at the White House Comey confirmed again that Trump was not a target of any investigation.
Finally, on a March 30 phone call with Trump:
COMEY: I explained that we had briefed the leadership of Congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told those Congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating President Trump. I reminded him I had previously told him that. He repeatedly told me, “We need to get that fact out.” (I did not tell the President that the FBI and the Department of Justice had been reluctant to make public statements that we did not have an open case on President Trump for a number of reasons, most importantly because it would create a duty to correct, should that change.)
1,2,3 times. Just as Trump claimed in the letter to Comey when he fired him. Will we get an acknowledgement of this fact from the hate Trump media that denounced Trump for making the claim? Will CNN apologize for citing "anonymous sources" that claim Trump was lying?
Remember the breathless reporting that Trump demanded Comey shut down any investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn? It was all over CNN and the New York Times. What does Comey say about it in his written testimony?
COMEY: The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, “He is a good guy and has been through a lot.” He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” I replied only that “he is a good guy.” (In fact, I had a positive experience dealing with Mike Flynn when he was a colleague as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency at the beginning of my term at FBI.) I did not say I would “let this go.”
In no way does Trump's plea on behalf of Flynn constitute an order to the FBI to terminate an investigation (a possibility which Comey says later the FBI would reject in any case). Nor was there any move to obstruct the investigation. No case for impeachment there. Sorry Maxine Waters!
If anyone wants to make a big deal about Trump asking Comey to "let it go" then they must hold Obama to the same standard when he declared publicly that Hillary Clinton had done nothing wrong while the FBI had an ongoing investigation into her email scandal.
The Trump hating left may try and make hay over Comey's claim that Trump requested loyalty. What President doesn't? And Comey responded that he would offer honesty instead. Again, a giant nothingburger like all the rest of hate Trump fake news (Jared Kushner anyone).
Other Intelligence Testimony: "No pressure" From Trump on Russia
Wednesday's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing brought the heads of multiple agencies to testify on the same subject. One after another said some version of the same. Following are relevant excerpts from testimony of Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence and Mike Rogers, Director of the National Security Agency:
DAILY MAIL: 'I have never been pressured. I have never felt pressure to intervene or interfere in any way with shaping intelligence in a political way or in relationship to an ongoing investigation,' Coats said at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Wednesday.
Rogers said emphatically that he had 'never been directed to do anything I believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate' – pushing back on the same report that described a conversation the two men had with President Trump following fired FBI director James Comey's confirmation that the agency was probing Trump campaign Russia contacts.
There was some consternation at the hearing as the witnesses were not able to discuss confidential discussions they may have had with the President, but their testimony is clear. Again, Maxine Waters and the hate Trump fake news media will have to look elsewhere.
What will the hate Trumpers do as yet another of their expectations that Trump is finished falls flat? Expect more riots and violence in the streets as left wing fascists become more unhinged!
As long as political correctness prevents the Brits from realizing the mistake of permitting so many unassmiliated refugees from countries that spawn radical Islamists this nightmare will continue. And more reason that Trump needs to fight against the idiots who would open the floodgates here to radical Islam!
If refugees don't share our values they have NO RIGHT to be here!
Yet the same people who have been WRONG through thirty years of climate hysterics continue with the same worn out scaremongering!
You've heard it all by now. Trump has just signed the earth's death warrant. In withdrawing from the Paris Accord he's worse than Hitler. The attacks go on and on and on. But then, these folks have been trashing Trump even before he got elected with the same over the top idiocy.
House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi went so far as to say Trump is "dishonoring" God and kept the hysteria train moving right along by suggesting “how is he ever going to explain to his grandchildren what he did to the air they breathe — assuming they breathe air?”
Perhaps Pelosi should spend more time reading government reports on air quality and less time raving about topics she clearly is uninformed about. From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this report on pollution:
And like all good foot soldiers in the world communist socialist movemement, Pelosi couldn't help but say that the Paris Accord "is a big matter of environmental justice." She just has to get those buzzwords in. Yes folks, Pelosi admits that this is less about climate than some vaguely defined sense of "environmental justice" as if the Paris Accord by itself would solve all the world's problems and peace and happiness would reign forever. Well, some of these climate hysterics actually believe that.
Paris Accord another empty symbolic feel good moment for the world socialist movement!
Paris Accord, if FULLY IMPLEMENTED, won't alter climate!
In 2015 Even Obama's Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency admitted that the clean power initiative which was part of the Administration's adherence to the Paris Accords was just for show, despite the cost:
0.01C degree gain all to "show strong domestic action." In other words, it's all for show. But watch out for the price of that ticket if you are poor!
And it's not just the U.S. that's making a hugely expensive show. A peer-reviewed paper by Dr. Bjorn Lomborg published in the Global Policy journal analyzes the promises and the performance of the Paris Accord where it counts, temperature change:
No limitations on China and India
To actually achieve what the Paris Accord signers declare as their intent to control or lower temperature here's what the world would need to do (chart right).
But since targets for CO2 reduction are voluntary for all signers and there is no enforcement mechanism and since developing countries like India and China continue to enjoy a long period of complete exemption the idea that somehow we could meet these CO2 targets if we all "show strong domestic action" like Obama's EPA Administrator is laughable.
Western governments which have already cut CO2 emissions might continue to cut them but China and India are building coal fired power plants as fast as they can. Any gains the West makes literally go up in smoke.
Huge Cost to Poorest Americans
Rep. Nancy Pelosi also made it clear she sees the Paris Accord as a civil rights issue as if CO2 discriminated on the basis of skin color. As usual, she got it directly backwards when she claimed that "lower income minority families are disproportionately vulnerable to the ravages of the climate crisis." Rising electricity and energy rates hurt the poor most directly as this study from the Heritage Foundation shows:
An overall annual average shortfall of nearly 400,000 jobs;
An average annual manufacturing shortfall of over 200,000 jobs;
A total income loss of more than $20,000 for a family of four;
An aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) loss of over $2.5 trillion; and
Increases in household electricity expenditures of between 13 percent and 20 percent.4
Ibid.
But most Americans don't need a think tank study to tell them what they already understand to be common sense. If energy is more expensive the poor and the Middle Class will feel the pinch most acutely. All the Democrat's billionaires who are whining about Trump but who profited from green cronyism like Elon Musk who is worth over $14 billion but still gets nearly $5 billion in government subsidies don't get it but that's the point. Follow the money!
Trillions NOT spent on real human needs!
All the climate hysteria over the past thirty years has been debunked by much more talented people than myself. But you don't need a PhD in environmental science to grasp the common sense point that spending trillions on a largely manufactured crisis that benefits the uber rich at the expense of everyone else also takes away resources from real human problems like safe drinking water, addressing hunger, disease and literacy. Or doesn't the left care about that anymore?
After 30 years ALL the computer models predicting doom and gloom have been proven FALSE as compared to actual temperature results from advanced tech sensors that were intended to prove the theory!
The theory that CO2 is driving temperatures higher has been debunked by the very technological advances some scientists claimed would prove their hysteria to be correct. While CO2 has continued to rise advanced temperature monitoring free from corrupt and politically motivated data manipulation shows the temperature remaining at a relative constant. The North Pole is NOT melting! The polar bears are fine. The seas are not rising faster. Weather isn't more extreme. There is no reason to panic. REAL SCIENCE shows the theory to be false. But the hysterics still scream. We should just laugh at them!
When you examine the FACTS and put aside decades of unfounded climate hysteria you know Trump did the right thing! Note to left wing radicals: BEFORE you comment, please read the excerpts below. They are based on FACTS. We are overquota for left wing hysterics here. If you disagree with Trump's decision prepare to defend that argument based on FACTS and not left wing talking points.
TRUMP: Compliance with the terms of the Paris Accord and the onerous energy restrictions it has placed on the United States could cost America as much as 2.7 million lost jobs by 2025 according to the National Economic Research Associates. [B]y 2040, compliance with the commitments put into place by the previous administration would cut production for the following sectors: paper down 12 percent; cement down 23 percent; iron and steel down 38 percent; coal -- and I happen to love the coal miners -- down 86 percent; natural gas down 31 percent. The cost to the economy at this time would be close to $3 trillion in lost GDP and 6.5 million industrial jobs, while households would have $7,000 less income and, in many cases, much worse than that.
Not only does this deal subject our citizens to harsh economic restrictions, it fails to live up to our environmental ideals. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States -- which is what it does -– the world’s leader in environmental protection, while imposing no meaningful obligations on the world’s leading polluters.
For example, under the agreement, China will be able to increase these emissions by a staggering number of years -- 13. They can do whatever they want for 13 years. Not us. India makes its participation contingent on receiving billions and billions and billions of dollars in foreign aid from developed countries. There are many other examples. But the bottom line is that the Paris Accord is very unfair, at the highest level, to the United States.
Further, while the current agreement effectively blocks the development of clean coal in America -- which it does, and the mines are starting to open up. We’re having a big opening in two weeks. Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, so many places. A big opening of a brand-new mine. It’s unheard of. For many, many years, that hasn’t happened. They asked me if I’d go. I’m going to try.
China will be allowed to build hundreds of additional coal plants. So we can’t build the plants, but they can, according to this agreement. India will be allowed to double its coal production by 2020. Think of it: India can double their coal production. We’re supposed to get rid of ours. Even Europe is allowed to continue construction of coal plants.
In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries.
...
We have among the most abundant energy reserves on the planet, sufficient to lift millions of America’s poorest workers out of poverty. Yet, under this agreement, we are effectively putting these reserves under lock and key, taking away the great wealth of our nation -- it's great wealth, it's phenomenal wealth; not so long ago, we had no idea we had such wealth -- and leaving millions and millions of families trapped in poverty and joblessness.
... Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree -- think of that; this much -- Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100. Tiny, tiny amount. In fact, 14 days of carbon emissions from China alone would wipe out the gains from America -- and this is an incredible statistic -- would totally wipe out the gains from America's expected reductions in the year 2030, after we have had to spend billions and billions of dollars, lost jobs, closed factories, and suffered much higher energy costs for our businesses and for our homes. As the Wall Street Journal wrote this morning: “The reality is that withdrawing is in America’s economic interest and won’t matter much to the climate.” The United States, under the Trump administration, will continue to be the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on Earth. We'll be the cleanest. We're going to have the cleanest air. We're going to have the cleanest water. We will be environmentally friendly, but we're not going to put our businesses out of work and we're not going to lose our jobs.
...
No responsible leader can put the workers -- and the people -- of their country at this debilitating and tremendous disadvantage. The fact that the Paris deal hamstrings the United States, while empowering some of the world’s top polluting countries, should dispel any doubt as to the real reason why foreign lobbyists wish to keep our magnificent country tied up and bound down by this agreement: It’s to give their country an economic edge over the United States. That's not going to happen while I’m President. I’m sorry. (Applause.)
... The Paris Agreement handicaps the United States economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists that have long sought to gain wealth at our country’s expense. They don’t put America first. I do, and I always will. (Applause.)
The same nations asking us to stay in the agreement are the countries that have collectively cost America trillions of dollars through tough trade practices and, in many cases, lax contributions to our critical military alliance.
...
Beyond the severe energy restrictions inflicted by the Paris Accord, it includes yet another scheme to redistribute wealth out of the United States through the so-called Green Climate Fund -- nice name -- which calls for developed countries to send $100 billion to developing countries all on top of America’s existing and massive foreign aid payments. So we’re going to be paying billions and billions and billions of dollars, and we’re already way ahead of anybody else. Many of the other countries haven’t spent anything, and many of them will never pay one dime.
...
Of course, the world’s top polluters have no affirmative obligations under the Green Fund, which we terminated. America is $20 trillion in debt. Cash-strapped cities cannot hire enough police officers or fix vital infrastructure. Millions of our citizens are out of work. And yet, under the Paris Accord, billions of dollars that ought to be invested right here in America will be sent to the very countries that have taken our factories and our jobs away from us. So think of that.
... As President, I have one obligation, and that obligation is to the American people. The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risks, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. It is time to exit the Paris Accord.
Even the United Nations realizes that Trump's Paris pullout won't make much difference to the environment:
Daily Mail: "We haven't run new models overnight but the indications are that it could be in the worst case scenario in the order of 0.3 degrees Celsius," Terblanche told reporters in Geneva, referring to a possible rise over pre-industrial temperatures. "That is the worst case scenario and this is probably not what will happen," he added.
It's important to remember that NONE of the climate hysterics "worst case scenarios" have come true even after 30 years of "the sky is falling" doom and gloom alarmism! Those computer models have never been right after thirty years of trying. But even 0.3 degrees won't cause the disaster that the hysterics have falsely predicted all these years!
Pathetic. If Trump was really as bad as these fools say she would be in jail. He Kathy Lee.... take your roadshow to North Korea and try mocking Kim Jung Crazy. You might learn something!
